Unspool is a group of Los Angeles film and television professionals that creates a movie project from start to finish every month with our celebrity and industry guests. Listen to our beginning of the month podcast Pitch to hear how we came up with this month's movie idea—and what crazy ideas didn't get greenlit. After we put down the microphones, we pick up the video cameras to begin making our movie. Once the project is complete, we'll do a Wrap-Up podcast to discuss what went wrong—and, hopefully, what went mostly right. The finished films, bloopers, bonus content, behind the scenes and more are all at unspool.net.
